ylt @Ruth:1:1 @And it cometh to pass , in the days of the judging of the judges , that there is a famine in the land , and there goeth a man from Beth-Lehem-Judah to sojourn in the fields of Moab , he , and his wife , and his two sons . ylt @Ruth:1:2 @And the name of the man [is ] Elimelech , and the name of his wife Naomi , and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion , Ephrathites from Beth-Lehem-Judah ; and they come into the fields of Moab , and are there . ylt @Ruth:1:3 @And Elimelech husband of Naomi dieth , and she is left , she and her two sons ; ylt @Ruth:1:4 @and they take to them wives , Moabitesses : the name of the one [is ] Orpah , and the name of the second Ruth ; and they dwell there about ten years . ylt @Ruth:1:5 @And they die also , both of them -- Mahlon and Chilion -- and the woman is left of her two children and of her husband . ylt @Ruth:1:6 @And she riseth , she and her daughters-in-law , and turneth back from the fields of Moab , for she hath heard in the fields of Moab that God hath looked after His people , -- to give to them bread . ylt @Ruth:1:7 @And she goeth out from the place where she hath been , and her two daughters-in-law with her , and they go in the way to turn back unto the land of Judah . ylt @Ruth:1:8 @And Naomi saith to her two daughters-in-law , 'Go , turn back , each to the house of her mother ; Jehovah doth with you kindness as ye have done with the dead , and with me ; ylt @Ruth:1:9 @Jehovah doth grant to you , and find ye rest each in the house of her husband ;' and she kisseth them , and they lift up their voice and weep . ylt @Ruth:1:10 @And they say to her , 'Surely with thee we go back to thy people .' ylt @Ruth:1:11 @And Naomi saith , 'Turn back , my daughters ; why do ye go with me ? are there yet to me sons in my bowels that they have been to you for husbands ? ylt @Ruth:1:12 @Turn back , my daughters , go , for I am too aged to be to a husband ; though I had said , There is for me hope , also , I have been to-night to a husband , and also I have borne sons : ylt @Ruth:1:13 @for them do ye wait till that they grow up ? for them do ye shut yourselves up , not to be to a husband ? nay , my daughters , for more bitter to me than to you , for the hand of Jehovah hath gone out against me .' ylt @Ruth:1:14 @And they lift up their voice , and weep again , and Orpah kisseth her mother-in-law , and Ruth hath cleaved to her . ylt @Ruth:1:15 @And she saith , 'Lo , thy sister-in-law hath turned back unto her people , and unto her god , turn thou back after thy sister-in-law .' ylt @Ruth:1:16 @And Ruth saith , 'Urge me not to leave thee -- to turn back from after thee ; for whither thou goest I go , and where thou lodgest I lodge ; thy people [is ] my people , and thy God my God . ylt @Ruth:1:17 @Where thou diest I die , and there I am buried ; thus doth Jehovah to me , and thus doth He add -- for death itself doth part between me and thee .' ylt @Ruth:1:18 @And she seeth that she is strengthening herself to go with her , and she ceaseth to speak unto her ; ylt @Ruth:1:19 @and they go both of them till their coming in to Beth-Lehem ; and it cometh to pass at their coming in to Beth-Lehem , that all the city is moved at them , and they say , 'Is this Naomi ?' ylt @Ruth:1:20 @And she saith unto them , 'Call me not Naomi ; call me Mara , for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly to me , ylt @Ruth:1:21 @I went out full , and empty hath Jehovah brought me back , why do ye call me Naomi , and Jehovah hath testified against me , and the Almighty hath done evil to me ?' ylt @Ruth:1:22 @And Naomi turneth back , and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her , who hath turned back from the fields of Moab , and they have come in to Beth-Lehem at the commencement of barley-harvest .
